Kimi no Hajimete

Chiyoko has spent her entire adult life holding herself—and everyone around her—to impossibly high standards. That unwavering rigor, however, has come at a cost: now in her thirties, she remains untouched, never having known romance or intimacy. Her unbroken streak of solitude stretches nearly three decades, a quiet testament to her perfectionism and guarded heart. One reckless, drink-fueled evening, she swipes through a dating app and matches with a man who seems almost too good to be true. To her shock, he is the very same prince-like figure she once crossed paths with during her job-hunting days—a memory she had long buried. Their unexpected reconnection sparks a flicker of hope: could this serendipitous encounter be the fated love she never dared to dream of? Or is the universe merely setting her up for another cruel twist? As Chiyoko steps into uncharted emotional territory, she must confront not only the possibility of a first love but also the walls she has built around herself for so many years.
